Overlay Image
An overlay image is a static image superimposed over the video stream. The image, for example company log o, is used to provide
extra information or to mask a part of the image.
Since it is static, the position and size of an overla y image will remain the same regardless of resolution and Pan/Tilt/Zoom
movements. To set up a dynamic m as k, which will always mask the specified part of monitored area, see
Privacy Mask

Privacy Mask
Apriv
acy mask is an area of s olid color that pro hibits users from viewing parts of the monitored area. Privacy masks cannot b e
bypassed via the VAPIX® Application Pro gramming Interface (API).
The Privacy Mask List, Video & Audio > Privacy Mask, shows all the masks that are currently configured in the Axis product and
indicates if they are enab led.
Since the Pan/Tilt/Zoom coordinates define its size and pos ition, a privacy mask is dynamic in relation to the monitored area. This
means that regardless of the angle and zoom of the lens, the same place or object will be hidden. To define at what magnification the
mask should be displayed, zoom to the desired level and click Set level.
You can add a new mask, re-size the mask with the mouse,chooseacolorforthemask,andgivethemaskaname.
